Kapil Dev in Iqbal

Subash Ghai has managed to rope in none another than Kapil Dev for his next film ‘Iqbal’ being directed by Nagesh Kukunoor.

Kapil was last seen on-screen in Sajid Nadiadwala’s blockbuster ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ last year.

Nagesh told a news journal that Iqbal is the story of a young enthusiastic boy who dreams of joining the Indian cricket team and how does he win his ultimate goal of life.

Along with Kapil Dev, another talented legend of parallel and commercial cinema Naseeruddin Shah plays the main lead.

The film is scheduled to release some time in June, 2005.
